Can you tell us your side mission or does it need to be a secret (it's ok if you do not want to say)? Typically, the Faction missions actually come up in the corse of the game. Mine for example, it wouldn't surprize me at all if the Asp. Con. wants to test our skill and sends us to do something at the brothel, where I would have the oportunity to do the Faction Mission while there. Or at some point we are going somewhere else and low and behold, the brothel is is right next to the brothel I happen to need to go to. So I'm not worried about getting mine done right now, and if we want to go ahead and hit the main mission, I'm fine with that.

I've had good and bad experiences with it, depending on how it was handled. In the TT game of Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment, the DM rolled a lot of things for us as per the scenario, and it turned out to be a mess, (not DM's fault) as it really just confussed everyone.

We would roll, and then fail, despite rolling high, for example, not knowing that the DM was secretly rolling for us, which led to the entire group having a very different understanding of what was going on, and partially ruined the game for us, and also robbed us of the ability to use various Boons, Rerolls, and powers, indirectly. We didn't know until after the game, but most of the time we all felt basically helpless and like we couldn't do anything. If things like that are avoided, it shouldn't be a problem.

If you just want to roll Init and maybe a Perception check for everyone, that's fine. Most of my important stats are already posted under my characters avatar for you. (Just copy them into the Charactrr Sheet section that says "Race" and "Class/Level", and I switch out between Bold, OOC, and Italics, if anyone is interested how I did it.)

Well the problem with waiting for us to roll it is, it'll make the scenario take three times as long. Because he'll have to wait for us to all roll perception which will be a day, then he'll tell us what happens and wait for our initiative which will be another day. But I understand the concern.

So i have decided ranvar should have a Australian accent (idk why). But that last reply i tried desperately not to put, "after you, mate" as opposed to just "after you". A bit too late for the accent. But it fits him. Just thought i would share :P

Look it's done. Let's just try to handle it. In the future, just remember that pulling a knife is a hostile action. (just like in RL). It's cool that you are playing your character to the hilt and I want you to and I want you to have fun. Just keep in mind that if we fail this scenario, we don't get to replay it for Society credit. Now, I personally am not mad and don't want you to feel bad or beat yourself up about it. Once again, just remember that as Pathfinders, we are supposed to work together as well as we can. Anyway, I've managed to avoid spoilers so far, but from what I've gathered, this is a hard scenario, so who knows, we might fail anyway.

I replied in-game before i saw your discussion post. Lol At this point Ranvar would have known he was making a mistake and took your signal ans is now just trying to act out the part you set for him. As he loes acting anywas c:

Just curious, why do you want to do that? It's not really a terrible idea, just curious. Oracle is a little bit better to multiclass with than other casters as the Curse improves with non-Oracle levels. Both are Cha based, and that will open up almost all the spells in the game from scrolls and wands, as well as a few more Skills.

In a group it will let you be able to step into a few different roles as needed, and honestly Sorcerers already lag behind in power until mid levels, so your not missing out on that much until later.
